Greetings fellow writers,
My novel has been sold. I am fortunate enough to have a wonderful agent AND editor. My editor asked me if I'm working on a sequel to the YA that's been sold, and I explained that I already wrote a sequel and it needs a lotta work. She's still excited about my character and says she's happy to see what I have.
Enter my agent. He expressed apprehension about me putting energy inot a sequel before my first YA comes out (outcome of sales, reviews, etc are his concerns). Nevertheless, my editor says that she'd welcome my proposal anytime. So question: Do I send my proposal/chapters to her and cc my agent? Or do I send the proposal/chaps to my agent first and get his approval?
For those of you who are wondering why I won't just go and ask them what's preferred, let me tell you, I'd much rather ask here before I make a fool of myself there. Besides, I value the good folks at AWWC's opinions.
